Honor Flight Network recognizes American veterans for your sacrifices and achievements by flying you to Washington, D.C. to see YOUR memorial at no cost. Top priority is given to World War II and terminally ill veterans from all wars.
Honor Flight Network has expanded to include Korean War and Vietnam War veterans. In order for Honor Flight Network to achieve this goal, guardians fly with the veterans on every flight providing assistance and helping veterans have a safe, memorable and rewarding experience.
For what you and your comrades have given to us, please consider this a small token of appreciation from all of us at Honor Flight Network.
If you are a Veteran and would like to experience an Honor Flight at no cost to you, please use this website to find your local hub.
If you know of someone who is a veteran, please fill out an application and send it in on their behalf. And remember, every veteran flies free.
To contact your local Honor Flight hub directly, please use this contact information.
*PLEASE NOTE: The Honor Flight DCA Volunteers group has no discretion over who comes on an Honor Flight. We simply post this information to help encourage Veterans to apply for their Honor Flights. We are excited to greet you when you get to DC!***
